I have seen some of the layouts and designs for the new Oceans Hall - I think the entire exhibit is going to be spectacular.

 

Primary Message - The ocean is a global ecosystem essential to all life, including yours. And, it is still the most poorly understood ecosystem on the planet.

 

It is no secret why Natural History is making this major change and investment - the Blue Revolution is here, and it is time to really bring ocean conservation to the forefront of the public's eye.

 

Cheers

I never understood why they closed their Reef and Lagoon exhibit years ago. I thought it was wonderful.

 

I hope this is a good. It sounds like it should be spectatular!
